A local proxy that is located between a client device and a host system may be used to identify, or provide information about, a client device or identity using a client device that accesses a host system. The local proxy may append parental control information (such as a parental control level) to communications sent by the client device. The host system may provide, or restrict, access to information or features based on the information appended to communications sent by the client device. The local proxy and the host system both may store an additional copy of parental control information associated with one or more identities or client devices. The mirror copy of parental information may be used to restrict communications based on an identity or device's parental control classification and/or may be used to verify that parental control information has not been improperly modified or accessed. Parental controls may be applied using access control lists stored on the local proxy.
